xtrasCHERUB and PARK LIFE double bill April 29
FILM SCREENING at Facets! Join us for the Chicago premieres of CHERUB and PARK LIFE at Facets on April 29. CHERUB is a gentle character study has almost no dialogue. Rather, writer/director Devin Shears observes what to some is an ordinary life. But that life changes when Harvey makes a discovery at his local porn store. PARK LIFE is a sexy new short. PARK LIFE, a new gay short! Noah and Medhi didn’t expect to make any real connections when they encountered one another cruising in a park. But what starts as a meaningless and transactional hookup, soon blossoms into something unexpectedly romantic and meaningful as they wander the quiet streets of London one remarkable night.
